Chapter 34: A Handful of Paper Money

What the?

Zhang Yuan's face changed.

The shopkeeper was killed?

He hurriedly looked forward, and the corpse was covered with a white cloth, but through the white cloth, a large area of blood could still be seen.

He couldn't help but think of the scene he watched during the day yesterday.

The shopkeeper took out a handful of bloody copper coins from the cash box.

Is this evil again?

Or is someone doing it on purpose?

But no matter which one it is, the shopkeeper has already been killed.

"Zhang Shaoxia, things are a little weird, after the old shopkeeper died, his skin "'''' disappeared?"

Zhang Xueshan's tone was difficult.

"Is the skin missing? Has someone hidden it?"

Zhang Yuan was taken aback.

Zhang Xueshan shook his head, his face was ugly, and said: "I don't know, but this incident actually happened right under our noses, and we didn't notice it, and we are very responsible for the death of the old shopkeeper." ”

He blamed himself very much, since he came down the mountain, he has always been chivalrous, the road is uneven, he drew a knife to help, and saved many people.

But this time, someone actually committed murder under his nose, not only to kill, but also to peel off the skin!

This made him very angry.

The little girl on the side, her face turned pale, and comforted: "Brother Zhang, don't blame yourself, that thief dares to commit murder, maybe his strength is very strong, so he can hide it from you." ”

Zhang Yuan also frowned tightly.

It's a pity that he wasn't there last night, otherwise, he should have been able to save the old shopkeeper.

"People can't be resurrected after death, Zhang Shaoxia, you don't have to blame yourself, this incident happened under our eyes, we must find the murderer, and give the old shopkeeper justice!"

Zhang Yuan said.

Zhang Xueshan nodded heavily.

Then!

Suddenly, Zhang Yuan's eyes flashed, revealing a bit of a different color.

He noticed that in the old shopkeeper's room, three figures came out.

He's seen all three figures!

It was the same person he fought that night.

"Dragon Gate. ”

Zhang Yuan's eyes flashed, and his mind suddenly turned.

This force is extremely mysterious, and he is extremely suspicious that the relevant departments of this world may be specially designed to deal with evil incidents.

This can be inferred from that night, at Ge Biao's house.

Even they were dispatched, which shows that nine times out of ten they are really evil.

Is there something evil in this inn?

Zhang Yuan remained silent, his eyes silently looked around, and after a while, he looked at Zhang Xueshan and said, "Zhang Shaoxia, let's go down." ”

Zhang Xueshan nodded.

They went down and began to eat breakfast.

Outside the door of the old shopkeeper's room.

Feng Li, Hei Bo, and Zhao Tao all frowned and gathered together.

"There is no doubt that it is evil, and the resentment is still very big, it should have been skinned and died before death, which is why the methods are so cruel. ”

Black Wave said in a low voice.

"Do you want to evacuate all the people here, there are a lot of knights from the rivers and lakes, and they still don't know what happened? The entire Chujiang City is now mixed, and it has caused us a lot of trouble to get rid of evil spirits. ”

Feng Li said.

Hei Bo and Zhao Tao immediately frowned.

Attracting the heroes of the rivers and lakes into Chujiang City was the biggest mistake of Wang Zhixian.

If it were ordinary people, they would be able to restrain it.

However, these chivalrous men in the rivers and lakes are uncertain, and some people like to run around at night, which makes the already chaotic Chujiang City even more chaotic.

"Don't make a noise about this matter for now, let's ask the captain to make a decision when we get back, and that evil may reappear again in the evening." Zhao Tao said.

The other two nodded.

They ordered the old shopkeeper's body to be carried back, and several of the men were also brought back for a record.

The entrance to one of the streets.

Zhang Yuan and the others found a stall and drank a bowl of soy milk.

Suddenly, there was the sound of hurried footsteps behind him.

Zhang Yuan felt this and immediately looked back.

I saw Ge Biao walking towards the Mingyue Inn with a panicked face.

Zhang Yuan's heart moved, and he shouted: "Shopkeeper Ge, what are you going to do?"

Ge Biao heard a familiar voice, his body shook, and he immediately turned around and strafed, and soon found Zhang Yuan in the stall, and immediately ran over as if he had seen a savior.

His face turned pale, he looked extremely anxious, came to Zhang Yuan, and said tremblingly: "Zhang Shaoxia, something happened again." ”

Something happened again?

Zhang Yuan's heart moved, glanced at Zhang Xueshan, got up quietly, quickly came to the alley on the side, and said in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

He still doesn't want Zhang Xueshan to know about evil things, with his strength and character, he can only make mistakes if he knows.

Seeing Zhang Yuan get up and walk away, Zhang Xueshan frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.

It is normal for people in the rivers and lakes to have some secrets, and he can't ask too much.

At this moment, in his heart, the old shopkeeper was killed, and yesterday's rainstorm knife was violently killed.

These two events made him extremely troubled and sorrowful.

At the mouth of the alley.

The shopkeeper Ge's face was extremely pale, cold sweat was left along the back of his neck, his palms trembled, and he took out a handful of silver from his sleeve robe and handed it to Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan was still puzzled, but as soon as he saw the silver, his face immediately changed.

Paper money?

"What the hell is going on?"

Zhang Yuan asked.

Shopkeeper Ge looked bitter and said: " It happened yesterday afternoon, at dusk, when I was about to close the stall, suddenly a person came, that person seemed to have just come out of the water, wet, filled with a fishy smell, he was wearing a red canopy, covering his face, I didn't see what he looked like, anyway, he smelled choking at the time, I wasn't going to do his business, but he was extremely generous, and directly took out ten taels of gold, my eyes immediately straightened, it was gold, equivalent to a thousand taels of silver. ”

So I asked him, do you want to buy silk?"

"He said he wanted a fine silk and told me to make a garment of silk and fetch it to-morrow evening." At that time I took out a ruler, measured his figure, and chose the most expensive silk for him. ”

He was very satisfied after reading it, saying that he would come over tomorrow night, and the clothes must be done, I nodded again and again, and did not suspect anything else, which also blamed me for being too greedy, and my mind was on the ten taels of gold, and after he walked over, I hurriedly picked up the ten taels of gold on the table, but the moment I got it in my hand, the gold began to change, and then it became like this, I have personally verified it before, this is real gold. ”

"And after the man left, there was a large puddle of water in my shop, as if it had just rained, and there was a fishy smell, and there were even some fish scales on the ground. ”

"I was frightened at the time, I wanted to come to you last night, but I was worried that something would happen at night, and I didn't sleep all night at home, Zhang Shaoxia, look at this, is it "'''Is it a ghost again?"

Shopkeeper Ge's face was very pale and extremely nervous

He held the handful of paper money in his hand, and he couldn't lose it or collect it.

The night passed and almost broke him.

Zhang Yuan's face immediately flashed.

Hell again.

He took the paper money, observed it for a while, and finally put all the money into his arms, and said: "This matter is handed over to me, Shopkeeper Ge, don't worry, as long as I have Zhang Yuan, the world-turner, no ghost can help you." ”
